| Jul-24-13 | | Abdel Irada: Today's theme: Monday Deferred.
The first move is an unremarkable pawn check. But if Black plays 28. ...Kd8 rather than take the pawn, *then* he gets the Monday treatment with 29. Qxe8†! I wonder how many mid- to late-week puzzles might be described as "Monday* puzzles, seen from one or more moves earlier." ;-) ° *I am not, of course, suggesting that most of the puzzles actually involve queen sacs. I speak here only of the ones that do. ∞ |

| Jul-24-13 | | Alex56171: 28.f6+ does it!
If 28... Kd8 29.Qxe8+ Kxe8 30.Rc8#
If 28... Nxf6 29.Qxf6+ Kd7 30.Nf8#
Easy. |

| Jul-24-13 | | M.Hassan: <morfishine:PM: A famous game with an overlooked hidden resource for Black. Nunn expounds on analysis by Vukovic and concludes Black improves with <27...Rc6>; so much so that after 28.Rxc6 bxc6 29.fxe6 fxe6 30.Nf6 Bf7 31.Nxd7 Rxd7 32.Bg6 Qc5+ 33.Kh1 Qf2 34.Qa1 Qxf1+ 35.Qxf1 Bxg6 White's advantage has shrunk to the point that a draw is likely:> Interesting. Thanks for posting it. |

| Jul-24-13 | | tivrfoa: the moves before were amazing. =)
i think he started the plan at 23 at least. |
|
| Jul-24-13 | | BlackSheep: Maroczy should have known better , there's no such thing as a "free" bishop against players of Alekhines stature . |

| Dec-28-13 | | Artemi: Alekhine breath life to the Chess pieces.....a magnficent player, He saves Capablanca to second disaster because at this time he is in the pinacle of his power!!! No surprise that he is the idol of Gary Kasparov!!1 |
|
| May-15-14 | | Capacorn: What an awesome game. If we analyze it to death Alekhine's play may not lead to a forced win, but who cares? From a real-world perspective, the attack obviously works beautifully. (Emphasis on the word "beautifully.") It wouldn't hurt me to play an attack of this kind and draw, or even lose, the game. That's the chance one takes -- a worthwhile chance, in my opinion. The notes in "The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games" read like an attacking (and defensive) manual -- well worth studying and admiring. |

| May-15-14 | | Capacorn: <perfidious: <GauraNitai: ....once you see f6 the game's up. But the difficult part lies in bringing your opponent to the position where you can play f6, which is what differentiates masters from mediocres.> This can even be the case when it comes to top players: Spielmann once noted that he could see combinations as capably as Alekhine, but had difficulty bringing about the same positions.> One of my favorite chess quotes, Perfidious. I think that many of us lesser players can find the combination if presented with the starting position, as in a "white to play and win" problem. The real trick is arranging the pieces to make the combination possible in the first place. The difference between the two can be several hundred rating points. What a pleasure to observe the build-up from the master. |

|
| Nov-08-17 | | yadasampati: Black surrenders, because his destiny is sealed: either with 28...Kd8 29. Qxe8+ Kxe8 30. Rc8#, or with 28...Nxf6 29. Qxf6+ Kd7 30. Nf8# |
|
| Nov-08-17 | | Whitehat1963: Brilliant finish! |
